Global Models (igny8_core/modules/system/global_settings_models.py)

Purpose: Platform-wide defaults and API keys. Admin-only. NOT account-scoped.

GlobalIntegrationSettings (Singleton)

class GlobalIntegrationSettings(models.Model):
    # OpenAI (used by ALL accounts)
    openai_api_key = CharField(max_length=500)
    openai_model = CharField(default='gpt-4o-mini')
    openai_temperature = FloatField(default=0.7)
    openai_max_tokens = IntegerField(default=8192)
    
    # DALL-E / Image Generation
    dalle_api_key = CharField(max_length=500)
    dalle_model = CharField(default='dall-e-3')
    dalle_size = CharField(default='1024x1024')
    
    # Runware
